What list_managed_processes does on Allcanuse

Why list_managed_processes needs a policy

The tool appears designed to enumerate or query running processes on the system. This is a read operation that retrieves information about system state with no side effects. While system introspection can inform subsequent harmful actions, the tool itself does not execute commands, modify data, delete resources, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_managed_processes' indicates retrieval of process information. The 'list_' prefix is a strong signal of a read-only operation that queries or enumerates existing data without modification.

How to control list_managed_processes

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Allcanuse, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_managed_processes:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_managed_processes": {}
  }
}

list_managed_processes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Allcanuse — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
